The Maydays post got me wondering. I don't monitor except
during the long flights, maybe ~2 hours or longer...


There is a NOTAM that REQUIRES us to monitor 121.5 "when capable".
If I am not actively using the second radio for ATIS or FSS, I have
it on 121.5 and I am monitoring. The NOTAM is plain, and I am a
simple person. I merely comply.

I am AMAZED at all the calls to airliners to "come up on
frequency XXX.XX and contact Center". :-)
